I would not hold up a compiler decision based on the mingw project. Always use the latest MS compiler released at the time for a x.0 build of any python. Doing otherwise costs the world a fortune in lost performance (higher power consumption via lower efficiency code). mingw will undoubtedly catch up on its own.
